indiana and his dad in the last crusade. this was my favorite scene, and my favorite thing i've done with clay so far. did anyone else notice in the movie indy's hands are bound in the front and his dad's are bound behind him?

i used two great ideas for me and my boyfriends anniversary and put them together to make it my own.

first, i saw burstandbloom's xmas advent calendar and thought "hey, i could make one, but counting down to our anniversary." so here it is, an anniversary advent:i decided to make them squares instead of circles, and because i'm lazy i painted the insides red instead of putting paper strips in it. check out 14 it's batman!

this is the last door, 17. it's my favorite:

in the inside of the advent instead of little gifts i put in riddles. each one is a riddle that if he guesses he gets that present for that day. here's an example:i come in fall colors.in a box or a bag.i melt when i'm hot, two words that rhyme are my name.what am i?the answer is reese's pieces. they are is favorite candy.

and then i saw patty_o_furniture's awesome cookies. me and my boyfriend have this inside joke and i thought these cookies would be perfect. though, he doesn't like sugar cookies so i had to improvise with chocolate chip. it was pretty tough but i think it turned out pretty good:the bottom left one is mine, it's boy briefs heh.

technically he can't start the advent until june 1st, but the cookies are for today. along with a polymer clay figure of michael douglas in falling down (his favorite movie), a mix cd of 80's cheeseball love songs, a zelda ipod cover, and a french toast casserole (french toast is his favorite food). mmmm.

i have recieved from nymeria! and i have to say this is the best swap ever! i am spoiled, really. here is all the things she sent to me:

an amazing pirates of the caribbean purse! has a million pockets inside i love it.

spike from btvs box. it has a tiny fold out drawer and everything! in the inside it's painted red with a bleeding heart it looks so cool.

an army of darkness microscope slide pendant. the image doesn't even come close to showing how awesome this thing is. on the other side it says " the necronomicon. it's a book bound in human flesh, bleeding with the powers of darkness." words cannot describe my giddyness.

a blue sun firefly shirt! i wore it the next day i got it so it's kinda wrinkly but it's a perfect fit.

she also put in some potc stickers, some lip gloss, and two nail polishes i definitely intend on using in the future. one is pink glitter, i love glitter and pink what are the odds? thank you again nymeria, i am so incredibly thankful and lucky!

penguino told me she has recieved so i will post pics of what i sent her:she said she loves tea so i sent her my favorite from teavana it's roobios orange tea. mmm so good! she also said she likes sea creatures so i sent her some cute stickers. and last but not least the penguin change purse.

you can't see it in the picture but there is a thought bubble around the fish...see the penguin is thinking about the fishy button. too cute.

i recieved from jaami! on my wist i wanted a cute tissue holder, jaami actually made me three of them all the cutest things ever:one has stripes with floral print in the inside (feels super soft too), one has hearts with gold print inside, and the other one has sea creatures with stars inside. the third is my favorite, but all of them are SO cute i want to have colds all the time so i can use all three.thank you so much jaami!

i recieved mine on friday, it was so great!i got a great Cedric rip bag, a "Wizard rock" mix cd, a cedric doll, a hp word search book, and a deck of ron playing cards! each card has a different scene/image with ron on it it's so cool. i'm actually going on two road trips next month so the word search (i <3 word searches btw) and the cards and going to be so much fun.thanks SevsOnlyGirl! i love all of it!
